Welcome to the YSL Group

We are a computational chemistry group working
towards a better understanding of the structures and functions of biomolecules.

Our group meetings this semester (spring 2018) are Friday 11:00am in Pearson-304. Please contact our group member Eric at eric.chen at tufts.edu for the exact dates if you'd like to stop by!

Postdoc positions available

For scholars who are interested in joining the Lin group as a postdoctoral research associate,
please submit your curriculum vitae, reprints of up to three selected publications, and a cover letter summarizing your experience, research interests,
long-term career goals, and estimated start date directly to Prof. Lin at
yu-shan.lin@tufts.edu

Appropriate candidates will have a recent Ph. D. in chemistry, physics, chemical engineering or biophysics. Extensive experience in molecular dynamics simulations, proficiency with at least one programming language and experience in Linux-based, high-performance computing environments are essential. Experience in writing or modifying parallel computational scientific software is highly advantageous. Knowledge of FORTRAN, Python, and/or C++ is preferred. The candidate should have a strong interest in biological problems and ability to interact with experimentalists and theorists in a team environment.

For scholars who have a strong interest in teaching, please also consider applying to the
TEACRS program.
